John 3:16
God's compassion for the marginalized shines in this narrative. From David's humble origins to Jesus' temple confrontation, God prioritizes closeness over status. Jesus' anger at temple exploitation reveals his mission: dismantling barriers to God. His encounters with outcasts affirm divine love for all. The Samaritan woman finds acceptance despite societal norms. Jesus, like water from a well, draws out her pain. He heals a boy and validates a father's plea, showing paternal love. The invalid, rejected even among the infirm, receives mercy, emphasizing Jesus' care for the overlooked. Pharisees' legalism contrasts with Jesus' compassion. As Jesus challenges traditions, we ponder his kingdom's nature and our role in building it.
